Sleep apnea and memory in people with mild memory problems
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at whether sleep apnea (pauses in breathing during sleep) is linked to thinking and memory in people who have mild memory problems. You will do a home sleep test and take memory tests to help researchers find this connection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
